(Spirit Lake)– The month of October is national breast cancer awareness month. In commemoration of that, Jennifer Hickerson of Dickinson County Memorial Hospital says they’re offering a mammography screening program this month at a reduced cost. Hickerson says they’re doing it to point out the importance of early detection.
The American Cancer Society says women age 40 and over should have a mammogram every year. All women over the age of 20 should do self-exams on a monthly basis.
Those interested in getting a mammogram should contact DCMH at 336-1230, extension 140 to schedule an appointment.
